Roberts Office Hours: Mon. 3-5, Tues. 9-10, Office: 226 Bay State Road, Room 406 and by appointment 617-353-2557 (O); 781-209-0982 (H) [email protected] Course Description: Few concepts have proved more difficult to define than religion, but most students of the subject would agree that religious traditions commonly include rituals and other practices, aesthetic and emotional experiences, and a body of ideas typically expressed as beliefs. This course focuses on those beliefs during the course of American history from the first English colonial settlement to the present and on their interaction with the broader currents of American culture. Theology is the term often used to describe the systematic expression of religious doctrine. It is clearly possible, however, to discuss religious beliefs outside the context of formal theology, and it is at least arguable that some of the most influential beliefs in American history have received their most vivid and forceful expressions beyond the purview of theological discourse. Accordingly, while much of our attention in this course will focus on the works of theologians and clergy--the religious “professionals”--we shall also deal with religious strategies that a widely disparate group of other thinkers (e.g., scientists, artists, and other influential lay people) have deployed in attempting to account for the nature of the cosmos, the structure of the social order, and the dynamics of human experience. Most of the people whom we’ll be studying were committed proponents of Christianity or Judaism, but the course lectures and readings will also occasionally move outside of those traditions to include others.

    Marburg Journal of Religion: Volume 4, No. 2 (December 1999) The Politics of The Courage to Be Elliott Harvey Shaw S. Martin's College, Lancaster e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Paul Tillich is arguably the most important exponent of the theology of culture. As a religious socialist Tillich felt compelled to leave National Socialist Germany in 1933 and to emigrate to the United States where he established himself as a major figure in American theology. Among his most influential works is the book The Courage to Be, which presents an existentialist Ground of Being theology as a basis upon which to address the concerns of people living in a period increasingly characterised by anxiety. The purpose of this article is to examine The Courage to Be against the background of the growth of conservative cultural and political trends in the United States. Originally presented as four lectures in the Autumn of 1950 at Yale University, The Courage to Be was expanded into a six chapter book and published in 1952. The article comparatively examines certain observations Tillich makes about Marxism and Soviet and American national life in the pre-revised lectures of1950 and the published texts of 1952 against the background of the ascendancy of McCarthyism in the United States. We propose that in revising the original lectures Tillich becomes more critical of Marxism and the Soviet Union and, in certain respects, less critical of the United States; it is our view that such revisions represent concessions to the anti-left wing mood of the period. In undertaking such a contextualised comparative textual analysis, we seek to show that the scholar of religion and culture does not work in isolation but in creative tension with his or her context and that context is a fundamentally important factor in contributing to the shaping of ideas and texts.

  • ABSTRACT GUILFORD, JEFFERSON EVANS. Weber and Troeltsch: Friendship, Cooperation, Conflict. (Under the Direction of Noah Strote
    ABSTRACT GUILFORD, JEFFERSON EVANS. Weber and Troeltsch: Friendship, Cooperation, Conflict. (Under the direction of Noah Strote.) Max Weber and Ernst Troeltsch were two of the leading intellectuals at the time of the outbreak of the First World War. For most of their adult lives, these two remained close friends, working in close cooperation at the University of Heidelberg and helping one another in the development of their innovative ideas concerning the relationship between religion and society. However, the two scholars also represented opposite ends of the German middle class political spectrum. Troeltsch opposed the modern forces of democracy and socialism that were reshaping German society, while Weber partially accepted them and believed that they could be integrated into a strong German nation state. This paper studies the works of Weber and Troeltsch and shows how, in spite of their cooperation, each scholar used their studies to support their opposing political ideals. Further, this paper explains the end of the friendship, showing how personal conflict resulted from Weber and Troeltsch’s contrasting interpretations of the First World War. © Copyright 2013 by Jefferson E.

    Bavinck Review 10 (2019): 5–35 Kuyper and Bavinck on Natural Theology Richard A. Muller Introduction Recent scholarship on the theologies of Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck has reminded us that the Dutch Reformed tradition, as it emerged into the twentieth century, provided extensive theological analyses of revelation,1 theological epistemology,2 and the relationship of theology to philosophy 3 that offer significantly different understandings of these issues from what can be elicited from the trajectories of Ritschlian and neo-orthodox theology.4 An issue that remains to be examined in further detail is the stance of Kuyper and Bavinck on natural theology, if only 1 See James Eglinton, Trinity and Organism: Towards a New Reading of Herman Bavinck’s Organic Motif (Edinburgh: T&T Clark, 2012), 131–54; Jan Veenhof, “Revela- tion and Grace in Herman Bavinck,” in The Kuyper Center Review, vol. 2, Revelation and Common Grace (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2011), 3–13; and Robert S.
